NZ: Completely independant question to the uninformed.

Hamilton survey find majority in favour of keeping fluoride
Posted at 9:22am on 19 Feb 2006
A Waikato public health official says a survey that shows most Hamilton residents want to keep fluoride in the water supply should put an end to the issue.
Hamilton City Council will decide on Monday if it will put the fluoridation issue to a referendum.
A phone survey of about 1,200 residents found 63% want fluoride and only 20% oppose it.
Medical Officer of Health, Dr Felicity Dumble, says that shows a public vote is not needed.
She says the survey was very large, random and completely independent.
But Caren McConnell from the Fluoridation Action Network says the public does not yet know enough about fluoridation to answer questions about it.
Ms McConnell says the public should decide the issue in a referendum.
